Procedure

  1. Open the Document Titles window.
  2. Query for the relevant document title, and click on the Change report archive settings right mouse button menu option. The settings will apply only after the report has been executed in IFS/Info Services. Therefore, define the settings before executing the report.
  3. To have the previously released document revision made obsolete, select the Set Previous Released revision to obsolete check box in the Report Archive Settings dialog box that appears and click the Save button.
  4. To have the previously obsolete document title revision deleted, select the Delete Obsolete Revisions check box in the Report Archive Settings dialog box that appears and click the Save button.
  5. Selecting the Don't Delete on Parameter Change check box will not delete the previous obsolete document title revision, if a parameter change on the report has been done from IFS/Info Services. Even if the Delete Obsolete Revisions check box is selected along with the Don't Delete on Parameter Change check box, the previous obsolete document title revision will not be affected. The Don't Delete on Parameter Change check box will be enabled when the Delete Obsolete Revisions check box is selected.
